Day ?? I dunno anymore!

I haven't blogged since a few days ago.. woops! It's been a whirlwind, especially this past weekend. Thankfully, I had Friday off and was able to run a bunch of errands, including purchasing my flowers. Last Wednesday, I got a call from the bridal salon and was told my dress arrived early. *WHEW! YAY!* So glad it came a week earlier, so I wouldn't have to rush the whole alterations process. I went for my 1st fitting on Saturday and thankfully, the dress fits! *Whew, again!* I brought my dad along and he said "it fits nice." Yay, got his stamp of approval! So glad that I didn't need too many alterations done. I got into a fun conversation with the attendant on the alterations floor, Emily. She is getting married this August, so we started sharing our engagement stories and the whole planning process. It was a fun conversation, all while the seamstress was going up and down and on her knees, pinning away at my dress. What a tough little old lady! And a sweet one too! She was trying to figure out the best bustle for my dress, and after a couple attempts, we found one that I liked best. And thankfully, my MOH's won't have to worry about too many bustles; I made sure to ask for a simple one!

Saturday evening, Jon and I went to watch "The Last Airbender" which is based on an old anime cartoon. Jon's the anime fan and he asked me to watch it with him; I'm not a fan, but I figure it's only fair since he gets dragged around shopping with me! It was a pretty good movie, although somewhere towards the end, I fell asleep! I really think it was because I ran around all day doing errands, and NOT because the movie was boring, REALLY!!!

Yesterday, which was Monday, we decided to scout our possible location for photos, Brickworks. We didn't want to be caught in rush hour traffic, on the DVP let alone, so we made an impromptu stop to check out the place. After strolling the grounds, walking up a ton of stairs, and getting bit from a few bugs, we decided we didn't like this place so much! The photos that I've seen taken here have been beautiful indeed, but I'll pass on the bugbites, thanks!

Day 23

Another late post, woops! Yesterday was Canada Day and since it was a holiday, we decided to take a break from doing anything wedding! So, we went strawberry picking! Lotsa fun, except for the squashed strawberry stains on my pants!That's ok, today's post back and leg pain was worth it! Who knew strawberry picking can be real workout?! We left with 2 baskets of fresh-picked strawberries (fyi, my pickings were better than Jon's,hehe!), freshly baked strawberry pie and chocolate chip cookies from the farm's bakery...YUM!!!

Day 24

Forgot to post last night.. was too tired by the time I got home! Bought ANOTHER wedding magazine yesterday. I realize that the content is ALL the same. I don't know why I keep buying them. I just like the pretty pictures. :o)
